The Vault VLOG Steven Lee

On April 8, 2024, North America witnessed a rare solar eclipse, a dramatic spectacle not to be repeated for another 20 years. This solar event reminds us of the day the sun stood still for Joshua allowing him to have more time to finish the job. Similarly, we are praying for more time to climb the mountain ahead of us and reach the summit of GLOBAL SERMONS as we continue the arduous task of building out the infrastructure of THE VAULT on the campus of BJU.This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end shall come. Lord, we need more time. That is our prayer. Please pray with us, and for us.**Learn about The Vault:**https://vault.sermonaudio.com

After 5 months of work and 14,250 lines of code, we just released our single biggest development effort to date as we get closer to the final push towards SermonAudio 2.0. Broadcaster accounts are now LINKED to SermonAudio User accounts allowing you to manage sermon content more conveniently. This update also refreshes your homepage appearance on the new SermonAudio with most options now accessible in the Dashboard. However, as much as we are utilizing the *tools* and *technologies* of our day to their fullest potential for the glory of God, we are mindful of the fact that we want to steer clear of employing worldly *techniques* in our work. I hope you'll continue to pray for us.**Learn about The Vault:**https://vault.sermonaudio.com**Learn about the linking process:**https://web.sermonaudio.com/broadcaster/linking-users

We recently received an incredibly important piece of equipment in The Vault. It is the H100 supercomputer -- the most powerful GPU on the planet. With this, we will be taking our first serious step towards GLOBAL SERMONS where we will use AI tools to take sermons preached in English and have them "re-preached" into multiple languages.When the Lord told Joshua to go over Jordan and enter into the promised land, Joshua didn't ask, "How?" He didn't question the Lord. He didn't doubt the Lord. The command was given and faith informed Joshua, and according to his faith it was done to him.The Lord has given us a statement of fact in Matthew 24:14. "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations." We could stop and ask the Lord, "How?" But faith informs us that with this verse in our eye, we will take a step forward. Support our mission:www.sermonaudio.com/vault

As we reflect upon 2023, there is a lot that could be said. This is the year that Artificial Intelligence took center stage. It is the year that we utilized some of these AI tools to launch the Audiobook Initiative, giving voice to Christian classics, as well as to transcribe every sermon uploaded. With your generous support, this is the year that we made some giant advances with The Vault infrastructure, protecting our ability to broadcast sound preaching. This is the year that we formed an exclusive partnership with Samaritan Ministries in providing wonderful benefits to our growing family of broadcasters worldwide. It is also the year that we returned to NYC to host our sixth Foundations Conference and launched our beautiful Foundations Psalter.This all happened in 2023, and so much more.0:18 - Beta website0:33 - Cornerstone Payment Systems0:44 - Translator Tool0:50 - The Vault Pipeline1:02 - API Framework1:10 - Artificial Intelligence1:18 - Audiobook Initiative1:23 - Auto Sermon Transcription1:30 - Foundations Conference1:40 - Jeremiah Lanphier1:45 - Foundations Psalter1:51 - Pearl Mountain Coffee1:54 - Technology Lecture Series2:00 - Amicus Ecclesiae2:03 - Samaritan Ministries2:15 - 1000 Days of United Prayer2:30 - Every sermon in every languageBut as we look forward to 2024, there is even more that we desire to claim for the kingdom.

And we hope to make 2024 the year of GLOBAL SERMONS, where sermons can easily and affordably be "re-preached" in multiple languages.Support our mission:www.sermonaudio.com/vault

Dr. Clarence Sexton went home to be with the Lord on December 12, 2023. My mind went to Psalm 116 upon hearing of his death. He was a great personal encouragement to me, and I trust this compilation of sermon clips will continue to be a source of encouragement to all who hear for many years to come.
